Admittedly a perl newbie, this daring young adventurer in the world of perl is attempting to go where he has not yet traveled. While sitting in a small white house, he reads carefully all the available documentation for Win32::Process and Win32::Pipe, and carefully types 

my $pipe = new Win32::Pipe( 'testpipe', 10000 );

He then attempts to inventory his $pipe, and finds it empty! Quickly ruling out the existence of a thief, he assumes he has typed the UNC incorrectly and (after more reading...) he tries again...
my $pipe = new Win32::Pipe( '\\.\\My Pipe', 10000)

A careful examination of the $pipe in his bag reveals nothing. A fleeting thought crosses the adventures mind - "I wonder if Win32::Pipe works on Windoze 98?" At the mention of Win 98, his sword begins to shine with a faint blue glow. Helplessly, the adventure looks to sky and screams out What am I doing wrong here?!
